Own funds: values must agree (S.23.01, EIOPA rule BV544)

The rule in plain words

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV544-3 and BV544-4), and a failure names the one that failed.

This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it. It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.23.01 as reported.

The cells it reads

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on quarterly solo (QRS) and quarterly branch (QRB) returns on EIOPA taxonomy 2.10.0. EIOPA applies it to quarterly ECB solo (QES), quarterly solo (QRS), quarterly ECB branch (QEB) and quarterly branch (QRB) returns, as a warning.

EIOPA’s own words and formula

In EIOPA’s list of validations, word for word:

The "Tier 2" value of "Available and eligible own funds/Total eligible own funds to meet the SCR" reported in the template S.23.01 - Own funds should be the minimum between 50% of "SCR/Total" and the "Total available own funds to meet the SCR/Tier 1 - restricted" plus "Total available own funds to meet the SCR/Tier 2" less "Total eligible own funds to meet the SCR/Tier 1 - restricted" when "Tier 1 - restricted" and "Tier 2" value of "Available and eligible own funds/Total available own funds to meet the SCR" are both greater then 0.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
